Bidders are required to state any deviations from the specified sensors, and failure to respond will be interpreted as agreement to supply items as written.

The RFQ includes a set-aside consideration for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB) with appropriate documentation required for consideration under this designation. Vendors must accept the State of Michigan's Standard Contract Terms and Conditions and the Federal Provisions Addendum, which establishes mandatory compliance with federal regulations including Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Equal Employment Opportunity, Debarment and Suspension requirements, Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment compliance, and domestic preferences for procurement.

No incumbent vendors or budget range was specified in the procurement documents; however, the State is exempt from sales tax and requires all payments to be made exclusively through Electronic Funds Transfer via the Michigan SIGMA VSS system. All intellectual property, tools, plans, designs, and specifications developed under the contract become State property, and vendors must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, with disputes resolved in Michigan Court of Claims under Michigan law.
